removing them from the vicinity of the fire, and a few slightly damaged by the smoke and water. All the

CITY COUNCIL HIS BIRTHDAY
March 5 is Fifty-Third Anniversary
of First Session.
TWO PARTICrPAJITS STILL living
Captata C. H. Dowu d J. W. Vmu
N oat rand Wert rment mm Conn
oilman u Recorder, npeo
tlvelr Jcmo Lowe Mayor.
Today, March S, marks the fifty-third
anntvtrsKy of the day when the flrat city
council of Omaha met to transact business.
Two of the men who participated In the
meeting of Omaha's first oounoll are still
living-. Captain Charles IL Downs was a
member of the council and J. W. Van
' NoBtrand was one of the recorders, the
other being; H. C. Anderson. Both of
these survivors of Omaha's first olty
legislature were present and made ad
dresses at the fiftieth anntverslty of the
meeting-, three years ago In the city hall,
and both give promise of surviving many
more years to see their dreams of the
Y early day far surpassed by the aotuallty.
In the list of olty officials of that far
off pioneer day appear several names that
have become htstorlo In connection with the
clvlo life of Omaha. Jeeae Lowe presided as
mayor, and on his tombstone In Forest
Lawn cemetery the faot Is recorded that he
was the first mayor of the city. At that
time the spot where he is burled, together
with many of his compeers, was "out In the
. country" a long drive. Today It Is on ths
rlty'a edge, with residences growing up to
the very gates and street oars whisking
visitors there In short order.
J. M. Wselwerik Oa of Sollettora.
The nante of J. M. Woolworth appears
as one of the city solicitors In 1867. Today
those who fill the similar office are known
as city attorneys. Charles Grant was the
other solicitor, for It appears to have been
necessary to have two 4s.wyera as well as
two recorders at the opening of business.
Leroy H. Tuttlo was treasurer, and there
ware two city marshals and two city as
sessors. The marshals were J. A. Miller
and J. II. Wheeler, who together looked
after the peace of the city, day and ntgM.
Today nearly 200 men are doing police
duty, and the authorities feel the number
Is not adequate to the territory that has
to be covered. The assessors were Lyman
Richardson and 3. H. Crelghton, both of
whom afterward made their Impress on
the life of the community.
The first city engineer was A. S. M.
Morgan and the first health commissioner
was Dr. A. Chappotl. The engineer had
but little to give him worry In those days,
and the health commissioner had no gar
bage or water problem to bother htm.
The number of eouncllmen was eleven and
a repetition of the names will recall many
a starring memory to the fw who still
survive tn Omaha from that earlier genera
tion. The eouncllmen were A. D. Jones,
Q. C. Bovey. Thomas Da via, W, H. Byers!
Thomas O'Connor, T. O. Goodwell, H. II.

Flynn Is certainly there, when It comes to

was to speak, and that fact probably ao
counts for the new society hunch of the
street commissioner. It was canny of
him, too, that he located himself In a high
box, where not many people could see him,

the presence of Mrs. Fynn would not have

to Washington he will pay his money
and enter his name for the senatorial prl
mary. This done. City Comptroller Lobeck
is expected to lose no time in declaring him
self for congress. He makes no secret of
the fact that he will not run If Hitchcock
should conclude to forego his senatorial
aspirations, but since the sale of the
World-Herald site for $50,000, this latter
contingency Is regarded as altogether un
likely. Local democrats are expecting George W.
Berge to act as the wedge that will once
more split the democ ratio primary vote
three ways. While the backers of Mtvnr .Tim
pretend not to care how many get Into the
race ror governor, the thick and thin Rrvan
men do not agree with this view. They say
smaiienberger will hold a certain voting
strength that no one can take away from
him; that Dahlman may also be conceded
following which no other democratic can
dldate can get. Then, as the Bryanltea In
slst, with . the peerless maker of losing
platforms behind Berge, and giving his per

the Lincoln lawyer will get the big end of
the vote and take the persimmon.
